Padraig Amond scored a dramatic injury-time winner as Sligo Rovers defeated UCD at the Showgrounds.

Ciaran Kilduff thought he had grabbed a point for the Students with a deflected leveller two minutes from time.

But Amond headed home his second of the game to seal a valuable three points for Rovers.

Rovers dominated the early exchanges, but it took them almost half-an-hour to get on top on the scoresheet.

The strike from Amond was worth waiting for, however, as John Dillon and Eoin Doyle worked the ball into the club’s top-scorer, who expertly lifted it over UCD goalkeeper Gerard Barron from inside the area.

Once they got the breakthrough, it looked like Rovers would push on, and John Russell went close to grabbing a second with a stinging shot from distance that bounced off the crossbar.

UCD made a change at the break, with Robbie Creevy replacing Paul Corry, and they were much more competitive in the second half.

Richard Brush needed to tip a brilliant long range effort from Keith Ward over the top on 52 minutes, while Paul O’Connor also tried his luck from distance six minutes later.

UCD grabbed an equaliser with just two minutes left, as Rovers lost possession in midfield and Ciaran Kilduff saw his shot deflect of Jim Lauchlan and into the net.

But Amond won it for the home side when he rose highest to nod Ndo’s free to the net in injury-time.

Sligo: Brush, Keane, Peers, Lauchlan, Davoren, Doyle, Russell (O’Grady 78), Ryan, Dillon (McCabe 78), Ndo, Amond.

UCD: Barron, Kelly, Boyle, E McMillan, Nangle, Wilson, Corry (Creevy ht), O’Connor (Roche 67), Ward, Kilduff, Rusk.
